Better Hiring with Indeed

Indeed focuses on matching relevant jobs to jobseekers by different means. Performance data (impressions, clicks, apply starts, applies) is a better metric of the effectiveness of your job post, rather than page ranking. Some tips on increasing performance data:

• Leverage your Market Insight report data for keywords to use in job titles and descriptions. 
• Write effective job descriptions and titles.
• Draft standout job descriptions.
• Write descriptions with the mobile experience in mind.
• Work with Joseph Sargent on sponsored job budget recommendations. 

Typically, you are only charged for Sponsored Jobs when an interested job seeker clicks on your post. For more information on pricing see our support article: How Sponsored Job pricing works on Indeed.

You are able to update your job title and job description as desired however you should not repost (close and open a new job posting) your jobs. Reposting does not enhances job seeker visibility and will not be as effective as sponsoring the job. Learn more about Pay for Performance and please review our reposting policy here.

There are a couple of ways to ensure you’re seeing the types of applicants you’re looking for. One way is to make sure you have accurate job descriptions outlining expectations, requirements and responsibilities. Secondly, you can use screener questions to ensure applicants meet your needs.
